Yesterday I’m sitting by the bay when four children pass by – four boys. They are serious, and the older one is explaining how to catch fish. The younger ones ask questions. This is serious play.
I don’t know why they aren’t in school but I’m grateful they aren’t. They don’t catch any fish while I’m there but that’s not the point.
A seal frolics; boats pass, and birds float and fly. Peace twines.
